Just wanted to throw support behind this patch as it is already helping
our project to ease merging of a project that can't/won't modify some
files that we have extensively altered.
Thanks for doing this Kevin!
Just to note: We are using this applied to msysgit's devel branch by
manually removing the diff.h chunk, applying the first patch, manually
fixing diff.h, hen applying the second patch. Which so far has worked
just fine.
